PADI Open Water Scuba diving Certification/Experience with the instructor SAM and his team in Sri Lanka
Let me start saying a big thank you to my Instructor SAM and his staff for helping me to reach out to one of my dreams in life of exploring the ocean in depth. You guys were. Awesome ,gave me so much courage, confidence and skill transfer helped me a lot to complete my PADI Open water Certification with 4 x dives at 18meters and it did not stop there , I was able to complete the course with two extra fun dives. Diving with SAM is so easy, he is so experienced instructor who can pick the weaknesses of the student to correct it immediately. I will surely do more and more fun dives in future and look forward to obtain my next level of advance open water Certification soonest for surely with my Instructor SaM only..

Diving with Sam in Kalpitya
Had an awesome time doing my rescue diver course with Sam and his son in Kalpitya. This is a family run business with a lot of history diving in the area. Highly recommend booking with them if you are diving in Kalpitya. I am sure they are the only PADI licensed dive shop in the area too.

Incredible experience!
"I had an incredible experience with Kalpitiya Diving Centre! Completed my open water certification at Trincomalee on July 2024 along with PADI Aware and Dive Against Debris Diver. The instructors Sam were highly knowledgeable with years of experience,patient, and made the entire process of getting my Open Water certification enjoyable and safe. I help cleaning the ocean floor by collecting plastics and saved a coral reef by carefully removing a fishing net covered under the supervision of Sam. The equipment was top-notch, and the dive sites they took were stunning. Whether you're a beginner or looking to advance your skills, I highly recommend Sam and the Kalpitiya Diving Centre. They truly go above and beyond to ensure you have an unforgettable diving experience!"

Highly Reccomended!
11/10 experience. I felt incredibly safe and in good hands throughout the dive training. As a young girl, I would highly recommend Kalpitiya Dive Centre, Sam and his extremely welcoming family to conduct your dive training. The training was extremely professional and you will be in safe hands throughout.

Excellent service and best diving instructor
Excellent service and friendly staff. I did my PADI advance diving license with the centre and I am so pleased with the learning experience and the skills learned. Sam is a great diving instructor and will look after his diving students very closely by assessing their errors. The centre also located by the beach and it is very convenient to go diving from there. Ill give 10/10!!

Dive with Sam in Kalpitiya
Sam is a great dive master. We made 2 dives in depth of 20-27m. Great experience. And he filmed me with his GoPro and sent immediately. Sam has moved towards Trincomalee now due to end of season in Kalpitiya

Had an amazing dive with a bunch of my friends. Sam is one of the friendliest instructors I’ve met. Sam and his team put in great efforts to give the best diving experience at Trinco. Highly recommended for everyone who’s interested with any skill level starting from beginner to advanced. Really enjoyed beyond expectations and would surely do more dives with Sam.

Very nice dive center
Very nice dive center. Equipment was in good condition and extensive briefing in advance with a lot of attention to safety. Crew helped nicely with carrying materials. The instructors kept a close eye on us, a group of open water divers. Photos were also taken underwater and shared immediately. Saw many different beautiful fish and corals in two relaxing dives for an affordable price!
